Chapter 485
In the blink of an eye, it was the mid-autumn of the previous year, this was the last Mid-Autumn Festival of Lin Wan and Lin Jing in Zhennanhou, and it was also a rare Mid-Autumn Festival since Lin Wan returned to Zhennanhou's Mansion, because Lin Wenjie and Lin Hongyun, who had been patrolling either in the West Camp or in the city, also had a rare holiday and appeared at the Mid-Autumn Reunion Banquet at the same time.
Red lanterns are lit in front of the gate of Zhennanhou's Mansion, and all kinds of exquisite lanterns are hung in the mansion.
Because the weather was sunny and it was lukewarm, Cai's made a statement to open the reunion banquet in the garden in the backyard.
Looking at the reunion and jubilant scene in front of him, listening to the lively laughter of his children and grandchildren, smelling the cinnamon fragrance wafting everywhere in the wind, and tasting the bright red and mellow grape wine in the cup, Cai couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, but his heart was still a little sour. Although there will be countless reunion banquets in Zhennanhou Mansion in the future, with the adult granddaughters of Lin Wan and Lin Jing coming out of the pavilion to marry women, even if there are more reunion banquets, it will always be different in Cai's heart.
Cai sighed faintly in his heart, and looked sideways at Lin Xiuwu, who was sitting next to him and smiling like a chrysanthemum.
The originally handsome wife was already full of wrinkles, and her beard and hair were more than half white, and Cai's mood suddenly became even more gloomy.
The old man is sixty-eight this year, and she herself is only one year younger than the old man, and she is about to reach the age of antiquity, and I don't know if there will be a chance to see a few such reunions in her lifetime.
Lin Wan was so entangled by Lin Jing's sisters that she drank two small glasses of wine for the first time.
Lin Wan knew that although her alcohol consumption was not particularly good, it was still a little bit compared to the other sisters in the mansion, and two small glasses of wine naturally couldn't get her drunk.
It's just that no matter what banquet she participated in in the past, even if Lin Wan would follow everyone's meaning, it was just a light taste, giving everyone the impression that Lin Wan was not good at drinking and the amount of alcohol was very shallow.
Today is the last Mid-Autumn Festival that Lin Wan spent in Zhennanhou Mansion before getting married, with Lin Wan's understanding of Cai's family, Cai's mood must not be too good, so she wanted to accompany Cai's more, so she naturally didn't plan to entangle with her sisters, so she simply drank two cups in a row, and in the surprised eyes of her sisters, she sat down beside Cai's side by Dongyue under the pretense of dizziness.
Cai's eyes almost never left Lin Wan, and naturally saw that Lin Wan drank two glasses of wine in a row under the coaxing of several girls, but she knew that Lin Wan had some alcohol, and she was not worried that Lin Wan would get drunk, so she saw it but still let Lin Jing take a few girls to pester Lin Wan to drink.
Although Lin Wan's real alcohol consumption is not bad, there is a characteristic, that is, she goes to the top when she drinks, which is why Lin Wan rarely drinks alcohol.
No, Lin Wan's little face, who was sitting next to Cai's, was already dyed with a thin layer of red, but her bright eyes were even brighter.
Cai, who knew how much Lin Wan had drunk, was not worried that Lin Wan would get drunk, but she was still a little worried, after all, she had never seen Lin Wan drink two glasses in a row like today, so she held Lin Wan's little hand in her palm and patted it gently, but said angrily: "You kid is too sincere, do you want to drink when they coax you to drink?" I drank two drinks in a row! It's uncomfortable! ”
"Grandmother, don't worry, Wanwan is fine!" Lin Wan leaned her head on Cai's shoulder, and a small face rubbed against Cai's body, which made Cai's heart melt.
"You!" No matter how much worry Gong Cai had in his heart, all of them dissipated in this sigh.
Just leaned on Cai's body and gossiped with Cai's family, occasionally pouring Lin Xiuwu half a glass of wine, neither letting the wine glass in front of Lin Xiuwu appear empty, nor letting Lin Xiuwu try to control the amount of drinking.
Lin Xiuwu has been practicing martial arts for many years, and the amount of alcohol is really good, and his favorite thing is to eat meat and drink in a big bowl, but this hobby has been difficult to satisfy with age, and it is already the biggest concession of the house doctor to be able to drink from time to time like today.
"Another half a cup, Wanwan, can't you pour more?" When Lin Wan refilled half a glass of wine for Lin Xiuwu again, Lin Xiuwu looked at Lin Wan with some dissatisfaction.
Lin Wan smiled and shook her head: "Wanwan, may I ask grandfather, does grandfather plan to only watch others drink one at a time today, or will he just stop tasting it today and continue in the future?" ”
"You old man, you look more and more like a child! Wanwan is for your good, don't you know what it means to be old when you're older? Cai's eyebrows furrowed, glaring at Lin Xiuwudao.
Lin Xiuwu sighed, forget it, it's better to drink some than to watch others drink, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and wanted to drink it all, but it was changed to a light sip in Cai's light cough.
Lin Wan couldn't help pursing her lips and laughing, and hurriedly lowered her head, but she couldn't let her grandfather see it, so as not to hurt the old child's face and make him unable to get off the stage.
"By the way, Wanwan, there is news from the carpenter's shop, saying that all the furniture has been made and brushed three times inside and out with tung oil according to your requirements, and tomorrow my grandmother will accompany you to take a look, there is still more than half a month before marriage, if there is anything dissatisfied, there is still time for them to redo it." Cai suddenly remembered the news from the carpenter's shop in the afternoon, and looked at Lin Wandao.
Lin Wan thought about it and nodded.
The furniture mentioned by Cai is the highlight of Lin Wan's dowry, and the wood used is almost all the finest rosewood that was saved more than ten years ago.
This set of furniture has been handed over to the most famous carpenter shop in the capital to build before the wedding date is determined, and this set of furniture has also cost Lin Wan a lot of thought, not only went to the Ye family to see the new house prepared by the Ye family in person, but also had a detailed discussion with Ye Shen, and then asked Ye Zhan to design according to the results of their consultation, which naturally resulted in many modern furniture elements.
When the carpenter shop first received the deal, it was shocked and headaches.
It was the first time for the carpenter masters to see such furniture, but fortunately, the design drawings drawn by Ye Zhan were extremely detailed, and the instructions written by Ye Shen were also extremely detailed, and Lin Wan occasionally went to the carpenter shop to see it in person, in short, this set of furniture took a lot of effort from the carpenter master carpenter.
According to the meaning of the carpenters, they were originally going to varnish the furniture, but Lin Wan did not plan to varnish and insisted on brushing tung oil three times inside and out.
Lin Wan also planned to take some time to go to the carpenter shop to check the situation in the next few days, after all, furniture is one of the most important things in the dowry, and she must move into a new house and arrange it properly before getting married.
Although there are special people in Zhennanhou Mansion who are staring at this piece, Ye Shen will turn around to take a look at the yamen almost every day, and Lin Wan herself will occasionally go to the carpenter shop to have a look, if there is a problem, it should have been solved a long time ago.
However, both Cai's and Lin Wan felt that they should take another look and make sure that there was no problem, and the new house could be arranged.
There are only 20 days left before the day of marriage, and if there is anything wrong, there should be time to rectify it.
